Roger rushes in round 2

26.05.2013 | Tennis, Starseite 1

Roger was in cruise control mode to win his first game at Roland Garros 6-2,6-2,6-3 in 80 minutes. Carreno-Busta, a 21 year old qualifier, was considerably outclassed by our Champ - it also helped that Roger managed to have 67% of first serves in completing 10 aces in the process. His second serve was even better with a 74% success rate. A good start to his challenge for the French Open.

Next up will be another qualifier: Somdev Devvarman (ATP 188) or Daniel Munoz-De La Nava (ATP 145).

Come on Roger, you can do it. A perfect final could be against Nadal to take a revenge, you second Roland Garros and the 18th major. 3 things all together, this is your challenge Roger, listen to me!!
GOOD LUCK GO FEDERER!

1) Don't stay at the baseline.
2) Serve and Volley. Chip and Charge. Go to the net at every opportunity.
3) Penetrate the slice backhand. Use drop shots.
4) Don't play with your opponents...beat them!!!
5) Aggressive play from start to finish.

I can appreciate your win at the first round, but there is a mile to travel along a rocky path. If you believe in yourself, we'll see you in the finals to slug it out. Let me just remind you that your POWER AND ACCURACY ARE BOTH PUT TO TEST IN THIS TOURNAMENT. You better focus on speed and accuracy. This tournament is a tougher one for your style. I hope you can see NADAL, MURRAY & DJOKOVIC crystal clear on your TV screen. Learn to adopt some tactics !!!

this year will be great chance to lift the trophy for roger even better 2009.
come on roger! just go and get it not sure to reach semi final for nadal and djoko i guess......you can beat one of them in final from your fan
